Belonging Stories

In a quiet winter forest, a little white fox named Lumi wakes up feeling small, alone, and unsure of his place in the world. But everything changes when he follows mysterious footprints in the snow. They lead him to Snowdrop, a shy bunny who transforms into Frost, a tiny wise gnome with a fading lantern... to Starling, a frost-antlered deer who glows like moonlight... to winter fireflies, enchanted snowflakes, and the hidden Crystal Hollow, where the magic of winter is born. As Lumi faces storms, doubt, and his own fears, he discovers a truth that every child (and every heart) needs to hear: ✨ The light inside you is real. It matters. And even when you feel small, you can brighten an entire world. A soft, enchanting bedtime story about courage, belonging, and the quiet magic inside us all. Perfect for children, dreamers, and anyone who needs a reminder that their light is meant to shine. - Written by Misty G

Your mind is a burning room, a drowning storm, and a torturing fairy-tale all at once. Now, descend through its layers and discover what waits in the one place even the flames can't reach. Sad Sundays is my weekly space to share melancholic poetry, words that help me navigate the stillness, the weight, and the quiet storms of recovery. Each Sunday, I post a new piece that I've written, using poetry to process my journey through detox and rehab, to face the difficult parts of healing, and to find meaning in the silence. Every poem is written by hand with help from the Rhymezone platform. This series is as much for me as it is for anyone who finds comfort in knowing they're not alone on their gray days. I will eventually try to tie most of my work together into a larger piece, but first and foremost, this will function as a collection of my writings while I am going through detox. There may be an underlying story, but perhaps not. Find out next week, and join me for a Sad Sunday moment. New Upload every Sunday at 18:00 (6 PM) German time - CET/CEST (UTC+1/UTC+2).

On a sweltering summer day in America, Hartford, the death of Hopewell-a quiet, brilliant South African expatriate-reveals itself not through love or concern, but through the unbearable odour of a body left alone. As neighbours gather, authorities intervene, and his mother travels across oceans to retrieve her son, the story unfolds in fragments of memory, grief, and unanswered longing. Through the voices of those who barely knew him and the one who loved him most, The Smell of Loneliness meditates on exile, queerness, motherhood, and the devastating weight of being unseen-even in life. It is a haunting exploration of how love can exist and still fail to save us from solitude

In a world divided by distance, language, and time, Jaden Greyhawk learns that love is not always enough - but it is never forgotten. Born to a surgeon father in the deserts of New Mexico, Jaden is raised between tradition and hope. At eleven, he is sent abroad as an exchange student to the snowy quiet of Willow Creek, a small American town where belonging is earned slowly and kindness becomes its own kind of courage. There, he meets Kae, a bright and fiercely gentle girl who helps him navigate the awkward, often lonely edges of growing up. What begins as friendship blossoms into something unspoken, a love that lingers between silence and understanding. But as years pass - from adolescence to the trials of med school, from innocent connection to adult heartbreak - life tests Jaden in ways he never imagined. He will lose, learn, love again, and come to understand that some people never truly leave us; they simply remain in the quiet places we learn to listen. A sweeping story of youth, belonging, and the merciless beauty of fate, The Quiet Sound of Rain traces the long arc of one man's life - from desert sun to city light - exploring how heartbreak can hollow us, heal us, and sometimes make us whole.

Raika wasn't supposed to belong to anyone. Hybrid. Runaway. Half-feral and terrified of her own shadow. Aerin found her on a stormy night and offered nothing but warmth and a place to rest. No questions. No demands. Just safety she didn't know how to accept. Now Raika keeps trying to leave... and keeps coming back. Tail tucked. Eyes down. Whispering apologies for taking up space she thinks she doesn't deserve. But someone from her past wants her returned, claimed, controlled, erased. And Raika must choose for the first time in her life who she belongs to: The man who created her. Or the human who opened the door at 2 a.m. and never closed it again. A soft dark fantasy about fear, trust, and a girl who learns what it means to stay.

He was not just abandoned. He was erased. When a boy is disowned by his family, he is cast into a world that does not want him; a world of hunger, shadows, and silence. Yet the one thing he cannot let go of is the hope of belonging. Through loneliness, through survival, through the ache of being forgotten, he must face the impossible: finding his way back to the family who swore he no longer exists. A story of loss, survival, and the fragile thread of hope.

They say that "life turns on a dime". That a small, seemingly insignificant event can have a large and unforeseen impact, altering the course of one's life. For Harry Potter, the discovery that he is the reincarnation of Henrik Mikaelson, the youngest member of a Viking family who were changed into the world's most powerful and notorious vampire family in history, changes his life.
